The Whale follows Charlie (Fraser), an English teacher living with obesity who has decided to eat himself to death. His pain and misery stems from the abandonment and death of his gay lover, leading to chronic binge-eating. Meanwhile, Charlie struggles to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter, played by “Stranger Things” favorite Sadie Sink. Now, the 600-pound man has one last shot at redemption with his child.

Joining Fraser and Sink in the film are Hong Chau, Samantha Morton and Ty Simpkins.

The script is adapted from playwright Samuel D. Hunter’s play of the same name.

Aronofsky is once again joined by his longtime cinematographer Matthew Libatique.

Libatique has shot every Aronofsky movie to date, except for “The Wrestler.”

The Whale is Aronofsky’s first film since 2017’s Mother!, which divided critics and moviegoers alike.

The director behind Black Swan is now looking to make his way back into the awards race with his new film.
